Head Coach, Sean Kelly
This will be Sean’s seventh year as a coach! Sean is a middle school math teacher, former member of the NSJ dive team, former NSJ lifeguard and manager, and an extremely enthusiastic coach! Sean works hard to be sure divers are working to their potential. He is excited to work with our younger divers and grow our dive team this season. You can often observe him “coaching” while he is around the diving well, even during open swim, and helping to recruit new members to the team. We are happy to have Sean as a coach!
Assistant Coach, Paige Citro
With a natural love for the water, Paige learned to swim as a baby and developed her love for dive when she joined the Blue Marlins dive team at the early age of 7. She never looked back. She is a 2023 graduate from Marriott’s Ridge. She enjoys participating in soccer and lacrosse and Paige is also a lifeguard, CPR, and First Aid certified. She is excited to be returning for her second season as a coach and final season as a diver! We are happy to have the opportunity to keep Paige as a part of our Dive Team family in a coaching capacity and looking forward to her growth in this new role!
